Geonosian Faction

The Geonosians have an intricate colonial hive, and caste-based social system. The Warrior and Elite caste members protect the hive from intruders and will swarm and kill anything that comes into their lair. They rule with savage authority, while the rest of the masses labor in immense industrial operations. Known throughout the galaxy for their grim excellence in design and production, the Geonosians manufacture battle droids and related units.

Geonosian Warriors: The first line of defense, Geonosian Warriors pose a threat for intruders. Their flight abilities give them air superiority while their brutal Force Pikes deal immense amounts of damage. One of their favorite strategies is to swarm an intruder with multiple attacks, rendering enemies confused and vulnerable. Weapon: Geonosian Warrior Force Pike

Geonosian Elite: The Geonosian Elite are the fiercest warriors in their caste. They wield a unique weapon which uses bio-energetic fluids tapped directly from the Elite Warrior's arms. The fusion of warrior and weapon yields an extremely deadly foe. Weapon: Geonosian Elite Beam Weapon

Geonosian Drone: Drones are relatively helpless members of the worker class, whose sole task is to serve the ruling caste. They are hatched in separate chambers throughout the underground colony, always separate from the caves of the higher castes. Although small and wingless, drones can be quite dangerous in numbers to intruders. They can spit highly toxic substances through their mouths and possess formidable sets of mandibles.
